Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" co-actor Simon Pegg apparently hit a bombshell by revealing a secret about him in a recent interview with The Times.
Pegg, in the interview, said Tom Cruise is compulsively unable to be apologetic for any mistake from his part, The Guardian reported.
"If something goes wrong and it's his fault, he'll flatly deny it. And then if someone corrects him, instead of saying sorry, he'll just say: 'Yeah,' and wink at me … He maintains his authority by never being to blame for anything," the actor also said.
Soon after being published, the interview went viral, and there is reason for that.
Nothing much is really known about Tom Cruise as the person he is outside the film screen. Over the years, he maintained a charismatic aura, often labelling him as "the perfect movie star". The new revelation by Pegg is certainly going to make a few eyes roll, if not more.
In recent times, interviews with Cruise have become rare, while he hardly ever makes any strong statement about anything in public, The Guardian reported.
Pegg's interview gave all a peek into the real Tom Cruise, possibly, as it implied about a dark personality trait the superstar may have been hiding.
After all, not taking liability for a mistake is a trait often associated to bullies, and usually such people are hard to trust since it is a human characteristic for someone to own up to his faults, according to The Guardian report.
However, what happened next requires some explanation.
A few hours after the interview was published, Pegg released a short video on social media, claiming that his comment on Tom Cruise was a joke and nothing to be taken seriously.
"I'm currently trending on Twitter for something I said in the Times interview about Tom Cruise never accepting responsibility for his mistakes, like it isn't just a f**king running joke that we have," he said.
"Stop being so f**king literal," he added.
Question remains, was it really just a joke or now Pegg is being made to eat his words as a move for damage control on behalf of Cruise?
One thing is likely that the broader discussion in this context may have just begun.
